The Catalog I was using never had a leading slash anywhere. All objects in it returned a: Folder/FolderB/myobject, for getpath and Catalog view. When I upraged to 2.1.1 as I showed you, getpath: FolderA/FolderB/myOjbect url: /FolderA/FolderB/myObject absolute_url: http://FolderA/FolderB/myObject Now after commenting out the line Darren suggested I get: getpath: /FolderA/FolderB/myOjbect url: /FolderA/FolderB/myObject absolute_url: http://FolderA/FolderB/myObject Now I don't get any barfs. It barfed constanly with a 'absent id' when I called uncatalog_object before. Is there a place that getpath() gets a url one way, and the Find tab in the Catalog get's the url another way? That only way to explain the top situation would be that they were using different methods to determine the url for cataloging and uncataloging. Also as a side note, I am getting absent id errors now because of the DTMLDocument subclassing %3cstring%3c bug. The work arounds are not working with the Catalog.

I commented out that line, and it still has the backslash in front of the catalogued url.
Michel, is that right?
Aren't they supposed to not have the leading slash? If it has a leading slash, then when you click on the link in the Catalog management interface, you get and error. (it is looking for a server @ http://my_object/url/object, rather that http://localhost:8080/my_object/url/object.
Which one is correct in in your design?
The latter, obviously. Not putting the slash in confuses your browser into thinking it's a bad relative URL.
The culprit is in lib/python/Products/catalogView.dtml Here is the checkin message:
---------------------------- revision 1.10 date: 1999/12/28 23:59:10; author: amos; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 Fixed links to catalogged objects. ----------------------------
Here is the diff:
*** /tmp/catalogView.dtml.~1.9~1NAywY Tue Jan 11 11:24:02 2000 --- /tmp/catalogView.dtml1NA_6e Tue Jan 11 11:24:02 2000 *************** *** 48,54 **** </TD> <td valign="top"><dtml-var meta_type></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> ! <a href="/<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">/manage_workspace"><dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)"> <dtml-if title> (<dtml-var title>)</dtml-if></a> </td> </tr> --- 48,54 ---- </TD> <td valign="top"><dtml-var meta_type></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> ! <a href="<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">/manage_workspace"><dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)"> <dtml-if title> (<dtml-var title>)</dtml-if></a> </td> </tr>
As you can see what probably happened was that not slash before the <dtml-var getpath...> probably broke the catalog's ability to show good links in certain circumstances, which fixed one problem but manifested yours.
The quick fix is to remove the / in the <a> tag in this file. But we MUST think more about this path stuff, Catalog was the first app to use it extensivly and our lack of a path framework shows.
